A curse has befallen Midgard, transforming the Realm into a video game. In this combat-heavy RPG, color-matching is key in every battle. Unlock a variety of abilities and weapons to match your opponents Oil Color, and claim victory worthy of the sagas.
Ragnarök Protocol
SteamThe end of our world is here. Loki has cast a curse on Midgard, pixelating the realm into a video game. The forests, the mountains, even humans began to mutate into pixels. To survive this pixelation, human souls were transferred into robotic shells. This allowed Human consciousness to live on, but the world is not the same. This Pixel curse is spreading to other realms, and it is up to two unlikely heroes to find the Allfather Odin and save Midgard.


Progression is measured in your ability to match your opponent. The color of the Oil running through enemies matters. If their Oil is blue, then it must be a blue ability that damages them. Same for yellow, green, pink, and so on.
Color-matching combat, combined with various enemy types that can attack at short range, long range, fade into smoke, shoot missiles, cast spells, and more makes each combat scenario feel exciting and unique.
This game plays like a hack n’ slash, but it is not a button masher. Every button press counts. The color of the weapon you swing, the timing of your dodge, the enemy you choose to attack first, as well as the enemy you choose to leave for last, all matters. Combat is strategic, and as you unlock more abilities and weapons, success weighs heavily on reading the battlefield and matching your opponent.

Return home to Sólkeld Village between each level and visit one of the three shopkeepers to change your looks and upgrade your gear. Each shop has unique items for sale and can be upgraded using Energy Cores. Each upgrade provides a powerful boost to your character, ranging from increased health to a greater weapon swing distance.
